&amp;lt;onlyinclude&amp;gt;A &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;switch&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is an electrical component that breaks or closes a [[circuit]]. Opening the switch (breaking the circuit) means turning off the electrical device and closing the switch (completing the circuit) means allowing electrical [[current]] to flow so that the device is on.&amp;lt;/onlyinclude&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Switches should be placed on the [[hot line]] so that when they&amp;#039;re turned off the electrical device (like a lamp) is at the same [[voltage]] as the [[ground]], to reduce the risk of [[shock hazard|electric shock]]. &lt;br /&gt;
